3/8" FLARE X 1/2" M.I.P. (TAPPED 3/8" F.I.P.)

Bridging high-pressure flare tubular lines with standard threaded piping, this adapter assembly converts a 3/8-inch flare termination into a 1/2-inch male iron pipe connection while incorporating a dedicated 3/8-inch female iron pipe tap for instrumentation or auxiliary routing.

Machined Interface Configuration

• 3/8" Flare End: Designed to receive standard over-tube or bell-mouth terminated fittings, creating a metal-to-metal seal optimized for repeated flex and vibration cycles.
• 1/2" MIP Thread: Provides direct engagement with compatible female port assemblies, utilizing standard taper thread sealing practices to maintain integrity under system pressure.
• 3/8" FPT Tap: Precision-machined internal port allows immediate installation of pressure gauges, test plugs, or quick-connect adapters without additional spool pieces or cross-threading.

System Layout & Field Application

Consolidating two primary fluid paths alongside a diagnostic tap into a single compact body reduces component count, cuts down on potential leak sources, and simplifies rack or panel mounting. The arrangement supports rapid field reconfiguration for hydraulic circuits, compressed air distribution, fuel transfer lines, and pneumatic control stations where spatial constraints demand multi-directional connectivity. Pair the flare termination with correctly sized ferrules or hose clamps, apply approved thread sealant to the male iron pipe section, and screw a compatible plug or sensor into the tapped port to complete the circuit.
